(Lyrics)
[Intro - Spoken Word, slightly distorted]
City of Goods... Scales ain't always balanced... listen...
[Verse 1]
Silk Road scorching, dust devils spin
Kasim scheming, sees the old man grim.
Palm holds fire, fallen star bright
Kasim slides close, lies with all his might:
"That shiny rock? Just a pebble, lose hope
Take this bread, this milk, learn how to cope."
Old man nods slow, deceived by the sound
Kasim walks off, best treasure he found.
Theft by smooth talk, where innocence dies.
[Chorus]
Scales tilted? Feel the pressure, that cheat?
Truth got weight tho', heavier than the prize.
Right is right, wrong leaves a trace
Elders watchin', regulate the space!
Honesty's currency, know the game
Play with integrity? *(Doo doo!)* Go up in flame.
[Verse 2]
Ali saw the play, vision clear
Felt anger rise, conquer the fear.
Head say 'Lay low', heart scream 'Fight back!'
Couldn't watch the wolf on the wrong track.
Met the old man's gaze, spoke low,
"Gem's your future! Don't let him go!
Played you dirty! Make it right!"
Pulled him to the elders, judgment's sharp light.
Ali spoke truth, cut the tense air
"Saw the whole damn scam! It ain't fair!"
Demandin' balance, facin' the game.
[Bridge]
Elders convened, wisdom known
Called Kasim forward, seeds were sown.
Jeweler stepped up, held the stone, took a breath
"Star-Tear legend! Cheats despair and death!"
Kasim face white, *(uh oh)*
Truth box him in, nowhere to go.
Verdict dropped heavy: "Return the jewel!
Compensate the man! Pay for bein' cruel!"
Public shame waits, for all eyes.
[Outro]
Gemstone returned, justice served its course
Ali stood grounded, a steady force.
Respect hard-earned, lesson learned true.
Kasim paid heavy... cost was steep...
Some holes you dig are just too deep...
City resets... but the hustle don't sleep...
